2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class - New Engine Candy, Same Old Boxy Wrapper

As Mercedes-Benz rolls out its all-new 4.0-liter V8, engineers in Stuttgart have decided the bi-turbo mill will fit right at home in the aging Gelandewagen, a luxo-utility military-born vehicle that hasn’t seen a major update in 25 years.

MRF 95 T-Bird I don’t think even Hoovie would buy this. “I found the cheapest Passat VR6 Syncro wagon” “and passed on it..”
ToolGuy New vehicle buyers are suckers and are easily manipulated.
ToolGuy If they really do "thin and light" I will be impressed.
Jeff "Honda said it would introduce seven new 0 Series vehicles by 2030, with the first models scheduled to reach the market in 2026." My take on this is the earliest these would be on the market is 2026 If then. I think Honda is going to drag their feet on this and 2030 is a more likely date. Honda is probably going to wait and see what the competition does before they do anything.
ToolGuy It is called a vehicle assembly plant. The parts come from all over. This part came from a supplier in Mexico, and they had a spill. There are lots of ways to mess up a part. One would think that people interested in cars would eventually pick up on this sort of thing, but I probably expect too much. Carry on.
